Your inverter/back plane is on its way out. It will need replaced. IF you think you may be technically able. You can check eBay for replacement parts.

is it difficult

because i am technically able with computers but i have never opened a laptop

Google "screen replacement" for your model laptop. You should find a wealth of knowledge about the steps involved. It is not that difficult to do really. Or take it to a repair shop and get an estimate.
